Aris is a Greek-American artist from Chicago. In his formative years he began acting in his Greek school plays, which were written and directed by his dad.

He loved the drama and attention so much that in high school he transitioned to creative writing and poetry slam. It went great for a while and then all horribly wrong. In the wake of the catastrophe, he decided to pick up a camera and recede into the role of observer. He attended AND graduated from Paris College of Art; he did not enjoy himself, but now he's grateful.

He still resides in Paris where no one knows who he is.
